He did a really good job. He did a very thorough onsite inspection and then he did a report and the report was pretty complete as well. I would highly recommend him. He was very prompt and as he promised the report was within a week and it was even quicker than that. He was very professional.

They were good. The price was good and the service was excellent.

Harmon Home Inspections
The appraisal that was called for as part of a refinance application on my rental property made note of maintenance and repair issues that required a certified building inspection. Basing my selection on Angie's list ratings, I contacted Mr. Harmon. He was on time, courteous, professional, informative and extremely thorough. He spent more than an hour in, on, around, and under the house, taking dozens of photos and pointing out to me details large and small of items I might want to consider. When he was done he stayed around to answer all my questions. Best of all, he didn't balk at my request for two separate reports: one for me that listed every possible detail, and one for the bank that listed only the issues they were interested in. His reports, clear and concise, were presented to me via email within 24 hours as promised. I would gladly use his services again, and strongly recommend him to anyone

KIMMELL INSPECTION SVC
Bob was a pleasure to work with. He performed a thorough inspection of all the usual home systems: foundation, plumbing, electrical, appliances, etc. His background in construction allowed him to give good advice regarding how best to make repairs, and what items were the most serious. He focused on the most significant issues, rather than minor cosmetic flaws. He was very informative during the inspection and it was helpful to be able to tag-along and get his input during the whole proces

Joe was everything you would want in a home inspector. He was efficient, comprehensive, and timely. He looked at everything in the home and didn't miss a thing. Not only did he come out right away, he provided us with a thorough report the very same night! We couldn't be more pleased.

Harmon Home Inspections
Robert Harmon arrived on time and was very professional and thorough in his inspection and took time to explain things to us. He provided a summary and a detailed report within a day. We more than recovered the cost of the inspection by having the sellers pay for many of the things he pointed out in his report. Great work !

Alpine Home Inspection
We were not there for the inspection, and that was obvious from the report. We felt there were areas that were deemed "unable to be inspected" that we felt could have been looked at, even though there was snow on the ground at the time. He did take pictures and include them in the report, which was very helpful
- Andrea C.
Harmon Home Inspections
Robert was extremely responsive and professional with his inspection from beginning to end. He answered the appointment call promptly, showed up on time to the job and took very detailed pictures of the findings. I received the report at 5::30AM the next day. Talk about fast turnaround. The report was very detailed and helpful in making repairs. I even utilized his report to get the seller of the house to reimburse $1500 of the cost associated. Thank you very much

What a home inspection involves
The most common areas of the home that are typically inspected include:
Plumbing systems
This includes drainage, indoor and outdoor pipes, sinks, and other plumbing fixtures within the home.
HVAC systems
It is important to ensure the home’s HVAC system is in good condition - HVAC repairs can be quite costly.
Electrical wiring
To avoid the risk of electric hazards, inspectors will ensure that the circuit box, breakers, and outlets are all in good condition.
Floors and roofs
The home will also be checked for any damage to the flooring material, subfloor, and roofing fixtures.
Preparing for the cost of an inspection
The average home inspector cost is about $315 for homes under 1,000 square feet ($400 and above for larger homes).
Individual inspector's pricing models depend on the nature of the inspection as well as their experience and expertise.
Make sure any inspector hired is properly certified. Looking through professional associations such as ASHI or NAHI ensures a qualified professional.
If you need specialized testing such as mold, asbestos, or lead inspections, be prepared to incur an extra $200-$300.
The importance of hiring a home inspector cannot be overstated. A property may appear perfect on the surface but it may have hidden problems in multiple areas of the home. Why hire a home inspector? Because they have the training and experience to thoroughly inspect a home for any underlying issues.
With a home inspection in hand, you can negotiate with the seller for any necessary repairs before purchase.
